All 50 State Constitutions Honor God
in their Preambles, Bills of Rights, or Text

[COMMENT: This argument over Religion and State continues on
and on..., largely because of the ineptness of "conservatives" who cannot
conserve anything. The evidence on this matter of God and State is so
overwhelming historically and logically that one wonders why we are even having
this discussion.

But Americans have been intellectually lobotomized so that we
do not know
(1) how to formulate our own case in reasonable (factual and logical) terms;
(2) how to gather and organize evidence to support that case;
(3) how to assess contrary evidence from the other side; and
(4) we are not much interested in an open, honest discussion in the first place.

"Gee Whiz. What if we lost???" Well, Gee
Whiz. What if? Go ask Elijah (see I Kings 18 on Mount Carmel).
Or talk to Paul on the resurrection (see I Corinthians 15). We do not have
any confidence that we are right because we have been too scared to risk finding
out whether we might be wrong. That is intellectually (and morally and
spiritually) indefensible.

To get a whiff of the mountain of evidence on the matter, read
Defending the Declaration by Gary Amos, and Original Intent by
David Barton (www.wallbuilders.com). If our side actually got aggressive
in a logical and factual way, and if we did it with some grace and poise, the
other side would be toast.

I received the material below by email. Just one more
testimony to how foolish our side has been in prosecuting the spiritual war in
which we are engaged. As with the homosexual nonsense, there is no
good reason why we should be losing this war. E. Fox]

America's founders did not intend for there to be a separation of
God and state, as shown by the fact that all 50 states acknowledge God in
their state constitutions. After you check your state(s), look
